I suppose I'd say that the notion of 'performance tradition' might be more appropriately applied to, say, the performances of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra over the years. (But even that orchestra is changing.)
I am occasionally forced to hear that some clarinet players rather routinely play the last movement really quite fast – much faster than the metronome mark. But that could be for very many reasons, and I judge it depending on the outcome.
Some of the players are foolish and ineffective showoffs; some of them are trying really hard make their fast tempi work; some of them are just thoughtless; some of them are trying to make the piece flashy in an inappropriate acoustic.
Older conductors famously make Haydn allegros sound faster by playing them slower. Something like that might be true about the Poulenc third movement.
I suppose you're a player. I'd say, don't worry about what OTHER people do – who they?
Try to make what YOU do work.
